Feb 19, 2009hello,if i have a solution with two projects, and add a class at the Solution-level, how do i reference that solution-level class within one of the two projects?

View 2 RepliesIf I have a low level dll called low.dll. I then create another dll, say my.dll that references low.dll.
Now, if I create an application that references my.dll, I should not have to reference low.dll in the application correct?? This does not seem to be happening. The application will not compile as it cannot see low.dll, even though it does not access it directly.
I've got a project folder which contains all my forms and another project folder where I keep my classes. The forms folder references the classes folder.I can reference the classes folder from the forms folder alright but I have problems when I try to reference a form from a class. For example, if I pass one of my form objects to a class, the class doesn't recognize its type.VB doesn't allow circular referencing so how can I get around this ?

View 2 RepliesI'm making an application that will be available as both a Windows App and an ASP.Net App. The web app has a much scaled-down version of the functionality of the window app. I want to reference the classes contained with the windows app from my web app. The thing is, my classes in the windows app may have some modifications: if I reference them in my web app, will this pick up the changes made automatically? Also, referencing the project is for development work, when I go to deploy the web app, I will probably need to reference the classes as dll's. So the next questions are: 1. Is this the right way to go about doing this?
2. How do I make the Classes I have into self-contained dll files?
Currently, I have a solution that contains two projects (ASP.net websites, FWIW). If I create a class in Project1, how do I expose it to Project2? Is it automatically available to Project2 because they are in the same solution? Or do I need to do something special to make the connection?
View 5 RepliesMy immediate issue is that currently I have a 3 tier solution (Presentation.aspx.vb calls BusinessLayer.vb which calls DataAccessLayer.vb). However, I want to make BusinessLayer and DataAccessLayer.vb abstract classes because several Webforms will use have the same functionality.
So I currently am doing this (no abstract classes):
'Presentation Layer (pseudocode)
public sub checkUser(byval userName as string, byval dept as string)
dim isGood as boolean = BL.checkUserAccess(userName, dept)

There is an older version of the software which works fine on all of our deployment platforms, but the version I am trying to push out is working fine on 32-bit desktop installations, but is crashing-and-burning when it attempts to access Crystal Reports and Informix installed DLLs on a 64-bit machine, running terminal server sessions (yeah, I know, could I change anything more about the deployment platform?)One of the suggested avenues of investigation was changing the solution platform from "Any CPU" to x86.On attempting to do this, Visual Studio seems to stop being able to connect the partial classes constructed by XAML objects, with objects declaring that they have no "InitializeComponent" methods, and then failing on down the line until I reach the maximum number of errors.
Oddly, changing the solution platform, and then rebuilding in Expression Blend compiles just fine. Changing the platform back to AnyCPU makes the problem disappear. All projects have compile and debug configurations set to Active. I can't see any reason why simply changing the targeted platform would stop the XAML from generating partial classes Okay, it seems to be that there are some external DLLs to the project, and that those are the cause of what I'd call the first-level compilation failure, as they don't seem to contain any classes once the target platform has switched.In VS2008, this causes the cascading failure of absolutely nothing working at all, as described above, but at one point I somehow managed to import the project to VS2010 with only those errors in place (missing classes, etc.), without the rest of the project imploding.I'm now working on reconstructing those classes from those DLLs, and hopefully will be able to get together a project that will compile on multiple target platforms by the end of the day.
I am having this strange thing happen where I have a Module that contains multiple classes in my project. In the Solution Explorer, the module shows up as a Windows Form and if I double click on it to open it, it tries to open the Form Designer. What could be causing VS to think that it is a Windows Form instead of a module?

I am converting an old Vb6 solution to .net 2.0 in vs2010. I've been working in C# for about 3 years now and .net for 5. I don't recall having this problem in C#, but if I want initialize a readonly collection of DerivedControlFoo Is there a clean way to do it besides creating a sub to do it all off somewhere else? I'd love to be able to do it at the class level at the declaration for readability and simplicity.
View 1 RepliesI really like the coding speed that vb.net provides, but I don't like the possibility to forget to declare variable types, return types of functions, etc. and that is why in each class I use[code]..
Is there a way to define those two options on the project/solution level?

I am creating an Excel add-in written in VB.NET. I would like to bind KeyDown and KeyUp events to the spreadsheet to record when the user presses and releases the arrow keys while navigating the spreadsheetIdeally, these events would be built into Excel alongside the native SheetActivate and SheetSelectionChange events, for example. Alas, they are not.

I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.
View 14 RepliesI have multiple level of For Each and in each level, i have a Linq that is the 'In' criteria as in:
[Code]....
It will go inside each for (because the value is not nothing), however, it will only loop (next) in the very inner 'For Each t In tFor'. After it is finish inner loops, the outer Fors' or Next will not execute... even thought there are more than one values in that 'In'... like 'sFor' or 'fFor'. i've noticed while debuging, while break at the for (for example 'sFor', before stepping in), i get the error message:
"Enumeration yielded no results" when i expand the result for that variable and it will not step into it. but if i do not expand the result, it will step in. It seem that some how, once an element is accessed for that 'In' collection, it breaks (meaning does not loop for the rest of the elements) the next for that collection is this a bug or am i missing something in Linq? BTW: i believe it has something to do with the SqlDataReader in the Linq. I'm working with IAsyncResult.
I have two classes, one nested in the other. [code]Neither "Name" or "ID" are unique between operations and records.I wish to construct a dictionary using LINQ = Dictionary(Of String, Of List(Of Integer), whereby the keys are uniqe examples of Names in my collection and the values are the collective set of distinct IDs that are associated with those names.
View 2 RepliesHow can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface
Public Economic as EconomicClass
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
interface.Economic.MyMethod
interface.Currency.MyMethod
etc
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.
Here is some example code of what I mean:

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender as Object, e as systemEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I have a line of VB code which looks like this : If GroupTagDropDownList.SelectedValue Is "1" Then The system doesn't throw up any errors for it but the statement doesn't appear to work.
I think that the problem must lie in how I've referenced the '1' value - I've tried putting single quotation marks around it but it appears to make no difference at all.
There is definitely a value in the drop down list of value '1' but it doesn't appear to be read at all.
I have been given a .dll file (implemented in C++) that I want to use in my VB.NET application.When I try to add a reference to this dll using Visual Studio I get the following error:A reference to 'path-to-dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
Based on this error I concluded that I need to register the dll. Since it has been implemented with unmanaged code I tried to use the regsvr32 tool to register it. But when I try to register the dll using this tool I get the following error:Name-Of-DLL was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered. how do I add a reference to this dll in my VB.NET application?If I have to register it, how?

I need to reference a C++ dll from my Java project. The method that I need to expose is actually written in Visual Basic. Is there any way to access the Visual Basic code in C++, so that it can eventually be accessed in the Java project?
